Adapter type sought - CANNOT fit to eye piece? (2 Viewers)

[bugbear]

A long time ago, I bought a digiscope adapter, of this style:


Last week, I bought this Mirador spotting scope;

Mirador 22-47 x 75mm spotting scope, balance?

I just bought a cheap, old-ish cope from eBay, per thread title. (Slightly discoloured rubber sleeve at the objective end) Mounting on my heaviest photographic tripod (Manfrotto #144, #168 ballhead), the views into my garden are bright and sharp - I am well pleased. However, the tripod mount...

Sadly, my digiscope adapter is designed to clamp onto a large eyepiece, either with a separate focuser (common in an astro scope) or with "in body" focusing as seen in many birding scopes.

It certainly won't fit my Mirador, the clamp would be obstructed by the focusing and zoom rings.

So - are there digiscope adapters that will fit my Mirador?

EDIT; I should add, my camera(s) are not DSLRs, they're of the compact type (Canon A630, Canon A650, Panasonic/Lumix DMC-TZ8),

OK; turns out the adapter doesn't really matter. Messing around handheld, I found that none of my "good" cameras can get close enough in (is this "eye relief"?) to actually get a full screen image.

The only one that will is a Nikon Coolpix 2200 I bought for £1 "just because" at a car boot sale.

It has no manual controls, and a 2 Mpix sensor.😞

There may be hope - my smartphone (Motorola G7) gets a good view. Handholding it in place is V difficult though.

This is just a shot out of my kitchen window of a (old, tatty) ornamental flowering cherry.

Wide angle for context, view through scope, 100% crop of scope shot.



This looks promising.
